The Rays were unable to come away with a series win against the Baltimore Orioles, dropping the final game of this four game set 8-3. The loss dropped the Rays back to 20 games over .500.
In a microcosm of the day, things started on a positive note before turning south in a hurry. Eric Sogard laced the first pitch of the game from Dylan Bundy into the right field corner for a double. But he was erased at third on a nice play by Orioles catcher Pedro Severino when a Pham bunt attempt didn’t get far enough away from the plate.
